SkyJump Auckland
Victoria Street West, Auckland CBD
About
The SkyJump is a 192 metre base wire jump off the Sky Tower, and it drops you at around 85 kilometres an hour down the side of the building into the plaza below. It's guided by a wire rather than a bungy cord, so you land on your feet rather than bouncing, which makes it a very different experience to a conventional jump. The whole thing is over in seconds, and the anticipation on the platform lasts considerably longer. You're harnessed and briefed thoroughly first. There are minimum age and weight requirements, so check before booking for a group. Non-jumpers can watch from the plaza at the base, which is its own entertainment. It runs in most weather and gets cancelled in high wind, so build some flexibility into the day if you're travelling for it.
